Make an Effort to Prevent Diabetes

An active and healthy lifestyle is the best prevention tool for diabetes. Get educated on how to do this by finding information through online resources.
Here are some of the most important things to know about preventing diabetes:
• Exercise Regularly. Those who are regularly active have a much lower chance of developing diabetes. Go for a run or a brisk walk, ride a bicycle or take an exercise class. Get moving as a habit!
• Drink Water. Avoid sticky sweet drinks (even “diet” ones) and make water the go-to beverage of life.
• Eat Fresh Food. Avoid all of those high-carb, empty-calorie pre-packaged foods. Instead, get into the habit of eating things that grow in the garden. Fresh veggies, leafy greens, low-carb fruits, lean meats and eggs are a great start.
